My opinion is that there's enough music in the world to not feel beholden to these albums.

Sorry but just to dumb it down a notch - youre saying that I shouldn't care because other bands play the same music ?

I'm saying you have many other choices. So many that losing the choice of this band shouldn't darken your day that much.

The Fake Sound of Progress is a good album. It had that "indie nu-metal" vibe to it, and I remember finding Lost Prophets on the old old old "Mp3 dot com" site way before they got signed, before MySpace was even a thing. And then I just kinda forgot about the band for a while and then "Rooftops" blew up and that was everywhere and I just personally did not like the song at all. It felt like your average typical cheesey sellout mainstream Emo stuff.

I get that they had to change and adapt with the times, but the Emo thing just never appealed to me. I liked them better when they were doing cool stuff like "Shinobi VS Dragon Ninja." That was a dope song. "Rooftops" was just not my cup of tea. You know who I do like though? Dredg! Now that's a good, interesting band. That "Green Album" with the wierd symbol on it is fantastic from start to finish.

"Hungover On A Tuesday" is also a damn good song that I can listen to over and over.

The Fake Sound of Progress was more interesting. How would it feel if The Deftones suddenly decided to start making cheesey sappy Emo music???? I don't think many Deftones fans would stick around for that.

Rhyme Asylum (one of my favorite UK rap groups) only ever made two albums ("Solitary Confinement" & "State of Lunacy") but I'll keep listening to them because they were dope, sure they never made any other albums but what they put out are classic.

Fake Sound of Progress was the ~only~ good album Lost Prophets made, and if they would have just stopped there instead of making mainstream Emo junk, that would have been totally fine.
